10-30 A long hot mechanically polished stainless steel sheet is being cooled in a water bath. The temperature of the
stainless steel sheet leaving the water bath is to be determined whether or not it has the risk of thermal burn hazard.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Surface temperature is uniform. 3 The boiling regime is nucleate boiling
Also, Csf = 0.013 and n = 1 for the boiling of water on a
mechanically polished stainless steel surface (Table 10-3).
Analysis The mass of the stainless steelsheet being conveyed
enters and exits the water bath at a rate of
With ΔTexcess = 25°C, nucleate boiling would occur in the water bath. The heat flux can be determined from Rohsenow
